Jeremiah 10:21

English Standard Version

21 For the shepherds are stupid and do not inquire of the Lord; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered. (Jer 10:8; Jer 23:1; Eze 34:2; Eze 34:5) 

New International Version

21 The shepherds are senseless and do not enquire of the Lord; so they do not prosper and all their flock is scattered. 

New International Reader’s Version

21 The leaders of my people are like shepherds who don’t have any sense. They don’t ask the LORD for advice. That’s why they don’t succeed. And that’s why their whole flock is scattered like sheep. 

King James Version

21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
